NEW GIVEAWAY: VERO LINENS!!!!

You may recall a giveaway I ran a few months ago for a set of fine Italian cotton sheets. Well, today is your lucky day! If you didn’t win that contest – here is your chance to win again!

Vero Linens

Cote de Texas sponsor Vero Linens has once again offered to gift a reader one set of their beautiful luxury linens. The prize includes both a flat and fitted sheet along with a pair of shams in the size and color of your choice.

Whether you win or not, Vero Linens is a great choice for bedding since the product is only sold online and is not sold through retailers, meaning there is no retail markup which accounts for a 225% savings. Wow!! Shopping at Vero is easy – the collection is small, so there aren’t dozens of dizzying choices to be made. It’s simple – white or ivory or sable. Stripe or diamante. That’s it! Before starting his business, the owner studied his competition and found that most sheets made of this quality are sold in either white or ivory, so why not offer only what people really want?

Beautiful hemstitching

Vero sheets – made of the finest textiles available in the world – are simply the best. The 100% Egyptian cotton sheets, designed with beautiful hemstitched detailing, are crafted by “4th generation artisans in Northern Italy” and are designed to hug the mattress, as well as your body. Of course, the fitted sheets also feature the extra deep pockets to accommodate modern mattresses. Besides sheets – Vero sells down comforters and pillows.

And this is something that I never knew: many bed linen manufacturers sell grades of Egyptian cotton containing as little as 10% of actual Egyptian cotton. These products often use high thread counts to appear as luxury linens while using these inferior cotton grades. The resulting bedding is rough to the touch and shows wear prematurely, including pilling - small balls of cotton forming due to wear - and, in some cases, holes or tears.

Instead, Vero uses only 100% Egyptian cotton to provide the highest quality luxury linens available anywhere in the world. Sheets and pillowcases are machine washable and become softer with each cleaning: the quality of these cotton threads means these sheets will last for years and years.

Shams – shown in the Righetta stripe pattern.

Just purchased our first king size mattress and are using the old queen flat sheet as we cannot seem to find good quality sheets that aren't too hot and scratchy. Would love the Diamante in white, king size. Great timing! Laurie lmpeck88@yahoo.com

I have chosen Ivory Diamante in the King size. The sheets are so beautiful and I really need a new set as I am down to one complete set. I am moving to Houston this year and have been totally enjoying your blog, introducing me to Houston style! Thank you so much for your complete descriptions.

Many thanks for the chance to own these beautiful Vero sheets. My husband and I, and the poodle, would love the Diamonte sheets in sable, with standard pillowcases, for our king bed. All best and warmest. penkiser@msn.com

I remember this fabulous give-away and I'm thrilled its back. I like the plain one, the Diamante, in King size. I'm an email follower and my email address is available if you click my name. But just in case, I left it below.

Thanks for a chance to win these gorgeous linens.Sam samhoffer@gmail.com

I love the Righetta in Ivory. They would help finish my bedroom that I have been working on all summer. I really appreciated all the information on their site about the care and content of cotton sheets. It is very difficult to compare sheets in the marketplace. The cotton quality and number of fibers are different for each company. I think the idea of sending a sample is helpful and takes some of the fear of buying on the internet.

This is a generous give-a-way. Thanks and thanks for the information on Egyptian cotton - it explains why some sheets have not lasted in spite of thinking that I've purchased high quality linens. The Vero linens are absolutely gorgeous, and the hemstitching is so elegant. I would choose the Diamante in white, full size. Keeping my fingers crossedpmmcclane@msn.com

I have just ordered a new bed and duvet for my master bedroom. These linens would be the cherry on top! King sized Diamonte sheets in Ivory. Wow!Now the last undecorated room in my home will be done! Time to start over, LOL.Melissamwillmon@comcast.net

Love the ivory Diamonte in queen. We're minimalists (within reason!) so we truly focus on quality, including reading my favorite blog, Cote de Texas. I even catch my husband looking over my shoulder from time to time!!
